It could have gone either way, but for me it's stunningly beautiful! - in someone else's house, where that someone else has a cleaning lady. I'd imagine that at my house all that detailed embossed leather would become a giant dust catcher, and highlight my inability to keep up with the cleaning.

I kind of feel like this is about 3 years too late. The classic B & W 20's Hollywood-glam opulence was more acceptable in pre recession times. These days most people are looking for unassuming refined elegance in the high-end (I am assuming this sofa has a price tag as high as the noses of people that could afford it)

The multiple textures- subtle and in your face are bang-on though. I like the light and shadow-play on the high-gloss side board and end table too. The tile in the background looks suspiciously like Grespania's Origami wall tile too- a nice choice.

My knee jerk reaction to the sofa; immediately was tooled leather cowboy boots. To me it is kind of cool in a 'home on the range' kind of way.The design of the sideboard and accent table do not really appeal to me as they remind of the bodice of a garment where the technique of hand-smocking has been applied. i:e: Often seen on little girls' dresses. (Hope that makes sense.) -Brenda-
